* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ قَالَ ٱجْعَلْنِي عَلَىٰ خَزَآئِنِ ٱلأَرْضِ إِنِّي حَفِيظٌ عَلِيمٌ }

(He said: Set me over the storehouses of the land) appoint me in charge of the treasury of Egypt (I am a skilled custodian) I am skilled in its estimation and know the time when people go hungry; it is also said that this means: I am trustworthy regarding that with which you have entrusted me, and also know the languages of the strangers who come to you.
